Tennessee Healthy Hardwoods

THH completed another great season of forestry education and outreach to landowners. Check back on this page later this fall to see a schedule of our next round of programs. The following is a summary of our last session. The recorded webinars will continue to be available through the year.

2013

Forest Health is an issue that affects all. A healthy forest is one that supports sustainability – assuring that the uses of the forest today will not hinder the uses of the forest tomorrow. A healthy forest offers diversity in species and their age class, ensures clean water and air, supports diverse wildlife, all while providing the other beneficent uses that society values.

The 2013 Tennessee Healthy Hardwoods Program addressed the following issues:

Options for treating degraded hardwood stands

Keeping a pulse on forest pests in Tennessee

Managing forest habitat for healthy wildlife

Forest inventory: healthy forests begin with an inventory

and more.

A combination of webinars and field days addressed these issues in February through April and had a statewide reach. Below is a short video taken by the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture that gives a brief glimpse on what the field days were like.
